Jeez LF, that was a bit harsh.

And why, for that matter, shouldn't orth camera support focal blur? It
wouldn't correspond to any real-life situation, but then an ortho camera
doesn't really correspond to any real-life situation anyway. I've no idea
whether the source would support it, but why not allow for a focal blur
based on distance from a plane rather than distance from a point?
